Title: Process for removing, separating, and concentrating metals
Inventor: BRUENING RONALD L
IPC: C22B13/00
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: A method for the removal, separation, and concentration of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations from a source solution which may contain larger concentrations of other ions comprises bringing the source solution into contact with a compound comprising an oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligand covalently bonded through an organic spacer silicon grouping to a solid inorganic support. The ligand portion(s) of the compound has affinity for alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl thereby removing them from the source solution. The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations are then removed from the compound through contact with a much smaller volume of a receiving solution in which these cations are either soluble or which has greater affinity for such cations than does the oxygen donor macrocyclic ligand thereby quantitatively stripping the complexed cations from the ligand and recovering them in concentrated form in said receiving solution. The concentrated cations thus removed may be further separated and recovered by known methods. The process is useful in the removal of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and Tl cations from a variety of source solutions such as from semiconductor, nuclear waste cleanup, metals refining, electric power, and other industrial enterprises. The invention is also drawn to the oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligands covalently bonded through a spacer grouping to a hydrophilic inorganic solid support material.

Abstract: 0 A method and apparatus for sharpening knives, blades, and the like utilizing a rotating displaceable abrasive disk where the abrading force on the knife cutting edge facet in parallel contact with the surface of the disk perpendicular to its axis of rotation is controlled by a biasing means such as a spring or equivalent, the position of the cutting edge facet on the disk is established by two appropriate stops contiguous to the disk and the angle between the principal plane of the disk and the face of the knife is controlled precisely so as to accommodate knives of different thickness and shape. Magnetic means to control the angle are claimed. Methods and apparatus include sequential steps that utilize one or more orbiting abrasive surfaces together with an abrasive disk sharpener where in each step there is a guide, preferably magnetic, to control the sharpening angle and where the angle is progressively greater in those sharpening steps where the orbiting abrasive elements are employed. Also claimed are means in a disk sharpener to prevent accidental contact of the face of the blade with the moving abrasive surface.

Title: Crucible for growing of ferrite single crystal
Inventor: MURAKISHI YUKIHIRO
IPC: C30B15/10
Filed: 1990-01-19
Abstract: PURPOSE:To inhibit elution of Pt into molten ferrite and increase breaking strength of the subject crucible by forming the crucible with a composite material using an oxide-dispersing type Pt-reinforced material as inside and Pt as outside. CONSTITUTION:The objective crucible for growing of a ferrite single crystal is formed as a composite material composed of, e.g., an oxidedispersing type Pt-reinforced material in which Zr is dispersed in Pt as inside and Pt as outside. Oozing out of molten ferrite to outside is inhibited by using said crucible as Pt crystalline granule in the oxide-dispersed Pt-reinforced material is fine and also Pt crystalline granule in the outside is fine. Then, elution of Pt into the melt or the molten ferrite is slight, thus a ferrite single crystal having high purity is obtained.
